Our local Palace Jester believes that he is the smartest in all of the African Kingdom. But we know that you can reveal him for the royal fool that he is. In this section he puts forth a weekly challenge, and if you can answer his question correctly African Palace will award to bonus rewards! Here is this week’s Jester Throne Room Challenge:

Can you guess who this is:

I was born on January 3rd, 1969. When I was four, my father modified my pedal kart by adding a small motorcycle engine. After I crashed it into a lamp post, my parents took me to the local karting track where I became the youngest member of the karting club. My father soon built me a proper kart from discarded parts and at the age of six I won my first club championship. To support my racing, my dad took on a second job renting and repairing karts at the circuit, while my mum worked at the track's canteen stand. Despite the extra income, when I needed a new engine costing R4000, my parents were unable to afford it, but I was able to continue racing through support offered by several local businessmen.

I am now a retired a former formula one driver and I am credited with popularizing the sport in my country as I am the first person from my country to ever win the championship. My driving sometimes created controversy and I was twice involved in collisions that determined the outcome of the World Championships.

In the last race of my career I was forced to start tenth position because of fuel problems. Early in the race I moved up to sixth place. However, in overtaking a driver, I experienced a tyre puncture caused by the front wing of the car I was passing. I pitted and consequently fell to 19th place, 70 seconds behind my teammate and race leader. I recovered and eventually finished at fourth place. My performance was classified in the press as "heroic" an "utterly breath-taking drive", and a "performance that ... sums up [my] career".
